Now that the Simplex is in the US can anyone compare the Simplex with the mighty Garrett AT/Ace Series or similar priced units from Teknetics / Fisher / Whites?
nice to compare how the US units stack up - can someone run the Simplex against those in the SAME price bracket or is that just too unfair?
I only have about 11 hours of swing time in with the Simplex so I'm still getting the feel for it but I think companies like Fisher, Garrett, Teknetics and Whites should be concerned.
Their machines in the Simplex price range like the Ace 300, Teknetics 4000 & 6000, Fisher F44 & F5, BH Land Ranger Pro, Whites Treasurer Pro and the others just cannot compete with the features and performance of the Simplex. Buying one of those machines now that the Simplex is available would seem foolish in my opinion.
Also when Minelab releases their new Vanquish 540 & 440 detectors, those companies are going loose even more sales. I haven't heard anything about new machines under development from the US companies to compete with Nokta & Minelab - are they even going to try?
Even some of their flagship models like the F75, T2, AT Pro, Patriot, MX 7 and such are probably going to loose sales to the Simplex. It's well made, waterproof, wireless, rechargeable with adjustable backlit display, built-in LED flashlight and impressive depth. That's a lot of nice for the price.....
I'm no brand loyalist or fanboy, I use what works best for me and for what I do, but so far I'm impressed with what it can do.
